Brian Gay opened today's first round with a bogey on his first hole, the 10th. He followed that with a double bogey. So, +3 after two. Not a great start.
What to do? Stop the bleeding, then claw your way back!
Par - par - birdie - birdie. Back to +1.
A par, then -- bam! -- another double. Agghhh!
What to do . . . give up?
Never!
Birdie!
First nine: 37 (+2).
Second nine: 35 (Even, with one birdie, one bogey).
Brian Gay had it one-under through 13 today, bringing him to +1 for the tournament. With the projected cut at +2, things were looking good. Unfortunately, bogies on 14 and 15 and a closing double on 18 resulted in a disappointing 73 and a free weekend.
